Football considers the art of taking free kicks to be a special skill. Because it is so unique, some Legendary Players of the game stood out simply because they were good at taking it. Players like Juninho, David Beckham, and Ronaldinho in particular.
This past weekend, the English midfielder James Ward Prowse for Southampton and the Argentine star Lionel Messi for PSG, two of the arguably best free kick takers in football at the moment, scored fantastic goals with them for their respective teams.
We intend to compare both Players, and it is certain that they will be. Which goofball player is currently the best and most accurate free kick taker?
Right-footed midfielder Prowse is captain of his club, Southampton, which is having difficulties in the English Premier League. However, the Player has scored close to 20 free kick goals in three seasons despite their poor form. He is very close to matching the number of EPL free kick goals scored by David Beckham.
On the other hand, Messi is well-known for his skills on the ball already. The Argentine with the left foot can do almost anything with the ball. He is likewise a decent free kick taker and is obviously the main dynamic Player with the largest number of objectives from free kicks with north of 50 strikes, his most recent for PSG adding to that record.
Based on statistics and previous performances, Messi appears to be the better free kick taker, but Ward Prowse is good in his own right and at a higher level.
